One Spin, Speeds That Scale With r
Every point on a rigid disk shares a single angular velocity, yet no two points at different radii move at the same speed. The radius is the exchange rate between the spin they share and the linear motion they don’t — and it prices arc length, speed, and both pieces of acceleration.
